• Host: Piper Klemm, publisher of The Plaid Horse and Catie Staszak
• Guest: Dr. Sue Dyson qualified as a veterinarian from the University of Cambridge in 1980. After an internship at the University of Pennsylvania and a year in a private equine practice in Pennsylvania, Sue returned to Great Britain to the Animal Health Trust, Newmarket. Sue ran a clinical referral service for lameness and poor performance, attracting clients from all over the United Kingdom, Ireland and continental Europe for 37 years. Sue has published approximately 370 papers in peer reviewed journals and is co-author of the seminal text ‘Diagnosis and management of lameness in the horse’. Sue is also a rider, and has produced horses from novice to top national level in both eventing and show jumping. From 2019, Sue has worked as an independent consultant, combining her horsemanship skills with her previous clinical and research experience, with the aim of maximizing performance potential and promoting ethical horsemanship. 
• Guest: A former high performance show jumping athlete, Wilhelmina McEwan turned her 12-stall barn in Camden, SC into a temperature controlled product warehouse for Fenwick Equestrian. Fenwick Equestrian created the popular LT Mask, the original therapeutic mask that can help your horse relax and focus naturally. Wilhelmina was a member of the 1976 Canadian Equestrian Team at Spruce Meadows and competed in the 1977 American Invitational, aboard Mr. Dennis, an Australian thoroughbred. Later, as Director of Racing for Spendthrift Farm, she had the opportunity to closely work with some of the top Thoroughbred trainers in the world. Wilhelmina received the 2004 NRCC Business Advisory Council’s Businesswoman of the Year award for South Carolina and remains hands on with both horses and Fenwick, which she co-founded with her brother, Fred.
